    Patient safety incidents are a significant healthcare concern, necessitating effective education for nursing students to prevent errors.

  • 2

    The study implemented a room of errors simulation to enhance nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in patient safety.

  • 3

    A quasi-experimental design with 66 nursing students showed significant improvements in the experimental group's patient safety outcomes.

  • 4

    Posttest results indicated substantial gains in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence for the experimental group compared to the control group.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that room of errors simulations may be a feasible educational approach for reinforcing patient safety education.
